(D) for me. Time taken 0:57.

The subject "every one" takes a singular pronoun so "have" is incorrect. Subject "they each" takes a plural pronoun "face" so "faces" is incorrect.

No errors. All verbs make sense with their subject. Looks flawless.

every one singular, so have should be has; A & C eliminated
In B "each one of them " has redundant problem; one uses redundant
In E - "all of them" is plural whereas verb singular "faces"
best choice D

best choice D but confusion about "they each face"

Hope this helps,
"they each" sure does sound unfamiliar to the ear but it in fact is the correct construction. When "each" is part of the "subject of a sentence", it is used with a "singular verb", except when it follows a "plural subject":
    They each do their share of the work.
    They each have been given an apple.

Edit: I believe you have modified your answer, so I hope you have this doubt cleared. I will anyway leave this post up for the larger community.

My answer is (D). It took me 35 seconds.

(A) "every one" (singular) does not agree with "have".
(B) "each one" (singular) does not agree with "face".
(C) "every one" (singular) does not agree with "have".
(E) "all of them" (plural) does not agree with "faces".
